This kind of just happened, but it seems interesting. To my eye the video quality is better. It is only a 4.7 MB pet. It is static with the ffmpeg multimedia libraries Incorporated into mplayer. The original libraries are still there for Pmusic, ffconvert, etc.

installed this one as well. now mplayer wont play anything and something crashed X, needed to xwin for the first time. havent restarted.maybe that is what is needed._________________

- MPlayer crashed by an 'Illegal Instruction'.
It usually happens when you run it on a CPU different than the one it was
compiled/optimized for.
Verify this!
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

It contains the very latest versions of the ffmpeg libraries (that is, even more recent then 0.8.2) It is compiled for i686. It will determine your cpu at runtime and use the appropriate media enhancements (mmx, sse3, 3dnow, etc.). It plays all the videos I usually test, and they look good. it also plays audio and CD.

It will play dvd's somewhat well. However, I still recommend that if you want to play DVD's you use the included XineDVD. I find it frustrating that no one else seems to be able to make a DVD player that looks and operates like the DVD players people are used to. But if you want to use gnome-mplayer to play dvd's you should View -> Playlist in gnome-mplayer--otherwise the first screen is black (who knows).

FYI, The version of the ffmpeg libraries in Lucid 5.2.8 is 0.6.2, but I am not sure how much if any this new mplayer improves video quality. I would like to hear. The 0.6.2 we use is the special build by Medibuntu and I don't see any real problems with it--everything plays reasonably well. 0.8.2 is not so far in advance of what we have, because 0.7.3 has most of the improvements of the 0.8 series but with compatibility with the 0.6 series. And the 0.7 and 0.8 were released the same day.

Thanks to 01micko for his help with the configure options.

After some more testing, I will post it on LupuNews.

I should say that I test with gnome-mplayer rather than at the command line.Last edited by playdayz on Sun 28 Aug 2011, 23:48; edited 1 time in total

Audacious 3.0.2. It was compiled in Lucid 5.2.8. The pet includes libgtk-3.0.8 which is required (as Audacious now uses either gtk3 or a version later than we have of gtk2). The pet also includes the most recent official release of the ffmpeg multimedia libraries 0.8.2.

This pet was modified on AUG 30, so if you downloaded it before that, please uninstall that one and download and install this one. Thanks.Last edited by playdayz on Tue 30 Aug 2011, 20:24; edited 2 times in total

should i un-install ffmpeg-071.pet before installing Mplayer 34026-002
http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/mp34026-002.pet?

aarf, mp34026-002 (Mplayer) has the ffmpeg libraries built-in so it is self-contained now and doesn't use ffmpeg-071 or any other--it is all in the one mplayer binary.

I should explain. The mplayer 34026-002 does not need a separate ffmpeg any longer, but other programs do, Pmusic in particular. Pmusic as I understand it had some problems with the 0.8.x ffmpeg, and it sounds like other programs also did, so they (ffmpeg developers) say that 0.7.1 has most of the features of 0.8.x but is more compatible. So I thought it might be a step up from 0.6 that would retain compatibility with Pmusic. But that's to test..

And speaking of testing, installing and uninstalling these advanced ffmpeg pets, mplayer, and audacious, can break things, so please backup or work in a sandbox.
